[18 Dec 2003|11:30pm] Ah, it's been a long time since I wrote here. Blame it on Ningen homework...and Ningen laziness. I guess I caught the Ningen bug of procrastination. Everything's fine here, really. Hinageshi-neechan's here, a very good thing. If Ayame-san was here...it will definitely be a reunion. I hope Koenma-san's doing okay, though...after all, he's still my superior. Hmm...snow. There are lots of it here, and I kept sneezing, trying to adjust to the weather. At Reikai, it's never cold like this. Or maybe because we have no climate there at all? Oh well. School is definitely out because of a Ningen holiday called Christmas, so I'm just lazing around the house. The older girls are planning Christmas shopping for gifts...since it's the custom of that holiday. Hmm...that's strange. Christmas is a Christian tradition, and we're obviously not Christians, so how come we celebrate it as well? It boggles the mind...or is Christmas being something global and commercialized? The Ningen world sure is strange. Oh well, I guess I should do "shopping" as well? I'll just get a few things for Botan-neechan, Kuwabara-niisan, Hinageshi-neechan and Shizuru-san...maybe scarves? I don't know anything about buying presents. We also have Christmas decorations to be put up to make things more festive, as custom still dictates. And I also read about the mistletoe - a poisonous plant, but people kiss under it - talk about irony! Also, I think we'll be having parties as well. I wonder...when I was still alive...did I enjoy the winter? Did I celebrate Christmas as well? Was I...happy? will dance together

[21 Oct 2003|10:49am] The sleepover at Momoko-chan's house went just fine. ^^ Her parents were very nice, and they fed us all the time with a lot of food. I played with her pet dog Kuro, and the stuff we did mostly was talk about...Ningen things that even I didn't quite understand. After all, she's a 21st century teenager. And I died long long ago before she was born - as an elementary school kid. (I did hope that girl thing Botan-neechan and Shizuru-neechan went okay, though...I'd hate it if I did something again to mess it up.) And we moved into a new apartment. It's pretty small, but...pretty. I have my own room, and we're in a quiet neighborhood. Botan-neechan's so nice enough to let me stay after all the stuff I did, which annoyed her. And she's working so hard so I'd better do my best to please her. ^^ Anyway, Halloween's just around the corner! I see a lot of costumes being sold at the mall, and the girls in the class were thinking of wearing princess and fairy costumes. Egh...how dumb is that? I mean, this is supposed to be Halloween - a night of fright. I took a look at the costumes around the shops, and...aw. Ningen have no imagination. They should have gone to Makai and see for themselves the kind of youkai there is. Although...the vampire costume was not bad; it wasn't scary, but it wasn't dopey-looking compared to the other supposed to be "scary" masks in the display windows. There's even a talk about a school Halloween party. Momoko-chan was going to dress up as an ancient female ghost, so she's going to wear white makeup and a white burial kimono. Shuuta-kun is going to be this English detective...I think he said the name was Sherlock Holmes...so he's going to wear a trenchcoat and carry a magnifying glass around. I heard Botan-neechan planning a Halloween party too. Which reminds me...I don't have a costume for both parties! I need something original, something that's really creative and mind-boggling. Maybe I can go as myself and float around? Nah. I'm too cute to scare people away. I need a costume that will give every Ningen the fright of their lives. Speaking of Halloween and death, it's so sad that when I died, I couldn't remember anything at all. All I had was a name, Sayaka, and I'm not even sure if that's my real name. I've checked the Reikai archives for any trace of my identity, but I didn't find anything. Perhaps they're kept somewhere? I don't know...I just feel sad. I don't know if I have parents. I don't know what was my childhood like. I only remember vaguely Shuuta-kun, but now it's also fading. Maybe it's this way...the more you remember things, the more you forget. 1 will dance together

[05 Oct 2003|04:50pm] [ mood | amused ] Aw...too bad. I miss the ice cream outing because of my stupid Ningen sickness. It's rather disappointing...I thought the heavy feeling around my head would go away after I take a nap, but...I ended up with a fever. Good thing there's some medicine lying around. I was able to take care of myself while Botan-neechan and Kazuma-niisan are out. I just hope everyone had fun. And I hope Botan-neechan got me some ice cream, especially chocolate variety ones! And some cool presents! Speaking of fever, I think I may not go to school tomorrow. I'm still trying to find out what caused my mysterious sickness, since I'm dead. Maybe it's the Ningen atmosphere...or maybe it's because my body is gaining up on lost time thanks to the fact that we're in Ningenkai... will dance together

Ho-hum... [30 Sep 2003|09:00pm] [ mood | amused ] *yawns* I'm tired 99.99% of the time. It seems like the Ningenkai's atmosphere doesn't suit me, and neither do I adapted to it since I've been dead years ago. I feel feverish most of the time, and I find my throat rather scratchy. Maybe it's just the school blues. But then, I don't find any problem with my studies; everything is doing quite fine. Anyway, since everybody already said it (and it's unusual that I'm feeling tired to expound on the topic), we went to a Ningenkai festival. Everyone had fun, although...Kazuma-niisan was looking rather depressed for some unknown reasons. But in totality, I think everyone enjoyed it. By the way, thank you Kazuma-niisan for the tank and the fish stuff! Goldfishie still doesn't have a name...I wonder what's a cute name for one. I wanted to have a cat, though, but there's already Eikichi-chan. Or I wanted to have a unicorn or a phoenix or a tiger or a dragon. But I know that's rather impossible, unless I import one from Makai myself. I just hope Eikichi-chan doesn't eat my goldfish... (There's a Japanese ice cream exhibit? Cool! If kids aren't allowed to come, then can you just bring me souvenirs? ^^) Speaking of ice cream...would Botan-neechan know when my birthday is? Maybe I could celebrate my birthday by myself...that's fine. It's kind of sad that I don't even remember when my birthday is. I don't remember what did I do when I was still alive, like what school did I go to, who my parents are...and how did I die. Is it really like this? When you go to Reikai, don't you remember anything? I envy the others. At least they know at least something about their life. Excuse me, my eyes are blotchy and my nose is getting clogged. I'd better go to sleep. 1 will dance together

[18 Sep 2003|12:46pm] [ mood | scared ] Me and my big mouth. Gomen ne, Botan-neechan for blurting out something that I wasn't supposed to be blurting out, but it's just an observation...but please...please, please, please don't kick me out and make me go back to Reikai... I'll wash the dishes, I'll clean the house, I'll do anything...I'll even close my mouth forever...just forgive me and don't make me go back to Reikai...or even kick me out... 7 will dance together

Hmm... [16 Sep 2003|01:00am] [ mood | curious ] Surprisingly, I did pass that spike exam for volleyball. I...er...kind of floated so the ball would reach the other side. I can't help it! If I don't use my powers a bit then, I'm going to flunk a subject like P.E. And it's really embarrassing if I did that, ne? Anyway, Momoko-chan was so excited because she was going out on a "romantic date" with the object of her affections. She looks...weird. Maybe ningen teens are like that when they're going out with someone. Oh well, it seems like I sense something weird around here. Weird...as in the weird stuff I usually see when I'm watching dramas. I get the feeling Botan-neechan likes Itsuki. Is it true? No one tells a kid anything. And is Shishiwakamaru-san taking care of Shizuru-san? Tsk tsk tsk...adults. What's with the love stuff, anyway? It kind of complicates things...but Momoko said life won't be fun without love. Is that true? Or is she pulling my leg again? And why am I thinking of these things? Am I finally growing up? 1 will dance together

Hmm... [09 Sep 2003|06:00pm] [ mood | curious ] Shizuru-san has a sunburn? Tsk tsk tsk...I've heard that sunburn's a really bad case. Well, I hope she's doing fine. She has pretty skin; it would be such a great waste if it gets blemished... Okay...I now remember the name of my junior high school. Silly of me to forget! It's Sarayashiki. Anyway, Botan-neechan and I are doing fine, although she sometimes goes home pissed off because of some weird and rowdy customers. But otherwise, we're okay. She's even thinking of moving out and finding a place of our own. I quite agree...we don't want to intrude further on the Kuwabara hospitality. A small place would be nice, since it's just the two of us, but it wouldn't hurt if friends drop by, ne? Eikichi-chan's really cute, I hope Kazuma-niisan would let me play with him. I love cats. I wish I can have my own cat, though. Pets are fun. Hmm...about school...as usual, junior high is still junior high. That scary Math teacher gave us a quiz. And needless to say, I did pretty much fine...I just got 2 wrong answers. Of course, Shuuta-kun's got the highest score. P.E. class went bad, though...I failed to spike the volleyball, and I nearly broke my wrist when Yuri-chan collided into me to serve the ball. I guess it's part of being the shortest kid. History was boring...the teacher droned on and on about some stuff that I already know about, so I just stared out of the window and watched some boys playing soccer. Hmm...soccer looks fun. It's really neat to observe the students around the place. I never had so much fun as trying to analzye ningen teens' behavior. For example, there's this one boy who was completely surrounded by girls all over the place. I think he's in the basketball team, and these same girls were stepping all over each other to give him their lunches! It's so hilarious...if you like someone, why would you even bother to give that person your food? That's completely illogical. And there's this one girl who's EXTREMELY close to this other boy who's in the same team. [I said EXTREMELY, right? Well, that's how it is.] Others are going out and having snacks in many places, since the school is just near the recreation stuff, and they're all holding each other's hands. I heard them calling it date. I asked Momoko-chan why do girls do those kind of weird things to express their affections for a person, and she looked at me like I grew an extra head. (I can't blame her; I myself never went through the trouble of being a teenager.) Then she shrugged and said that it's just normal. I then asked Shuuta-kun the same question one day when I accompanied him to the lab. He just frowned at me and said that he didn't know, he was never approached by a girl in that way before. I asked Momoko-chan again if she does the same thing as the other girls do, and she blushed. She gave me a positive answer. Then she told me quietly that she likes Kouichi-senpai, her brother's friend, and she always gives him cookies that she baked herself. I also asked Shuuta-kun the same question, and he also blushed. But he didn't tell me if he likes someone. Momoko-chan asked me the next day if I liked someone else. I told her I like a lot of people, like Botan-neechan, Kazuma-niisan, Eikichi-chan, Shizuru-san...she cut me off, saying "I didn't mean like that...I said, in a romantic way." I shrugged and replied, "I don't know. How would I know about that kind of stuff?" She asked me if there was someone who makes my heart beat faster, and I answered that scary Makai monsters do that to me. I don't know why, but she just frowned at me for a long time and sighed exasperatedly. She said that maybe I didn't know other boys. Well, honestly, as I was walking home and pondering over her questions, I realized that I never thought of the male species in another way. According to one psychological journal I read at the library, it's normal for ningen teen hormones to run wild. If that's a normal thing, surely I could have experienced doing those "weird stuff", ne? But how come I don't? Hmm...that's an interesting question that I need to ask. Maybe Botan-neechan knows the answer. I never handled ningen teen investigations, except perhaps for Urameshi Yuusuke...but he's a special case. I'm bored, though. Ningen teens are no fun, except when they're doing something worth observing. And I think I've been in the company of adults. Nee...Botan-neechan...do you know of any others my age or close enough? Whether that someone came from Reikai or Makai doesn't matter. Maybe Momoko-chan's right...I need to know and spend time with other teens who are in the same category as me...but the problem is, everyone I know is an adult. And Botan-neechan, what is a "romantic date"? Am I allowed to do that? 1 will dance together

I'm enjoying junior high school... [04 Sep 2003|03:15pm] [ mood | amused ] Minna-san! Or...specifically, just my journal. ^^;;; So far, so good. I took Botan-neechan's advice to take it cool, and so I did. Eh, Kazuma-niisan, what was the name of that high school again where you and Yuusuke-san formerly went (and where I'm enrolled in right now?) That name escapes me... And Kazuma-niisan, I didn't know that the awful principal we saw before was still there. Only...his apathy for the students became an obsession. It's so funny and sad in a way to see students being hauled off. Maybe he just got some post-menopausal syndrome whatever or something. Anyway, I'm doing fine. It's just too much homework that's keeping me from writing in my journal. But don't worry, everything is okay...although I don't think a kid who's almost a hundred years old would be doing all right. Classes are a breeze for me, but that Math teacher is different. I think if I check the Reikai records, I'm right in my suspicion that he's the reincarnation of a class A Makai youkai. He's a monster. He's old, I think maybe sixty or seventy, but he's really scary. He reminds me of those Toguro people or when Hiei-san transforms into a scary monster...that kind of thing. That English teacher was a bit dorky though...I think walking should be the first thing taught to him. Or he should take remedial classes for clumsy people. Despite my appearance, there had been some nice people who talked to me. There was this student named Momoko who sits beside me, and she gave me one of her sandwiches. That Shuuta lookalike...well, his name is...you'll never guess...it's Shuuta too! Talk about weird! But he's nice and he's really really smart. Aside from that, well, there's Yuri who helped me during P.E. class...and another guy who showed me where the school library is. I hope things would be even better...but I'm really enjoying junior high. will dance together

I should act like a normal ningen teen... [30 Aug 2003|02:00pm] [ mood | annoyed ] I can't believe it! We're now living in Ningenkai! Botan-neechan's pretty nice to let me have the bed, though...we're staying with Kazuma-san, and the house is pretty. Finally I can be like an ordinary ningen. Like before. Now that I'm like any normal human girl, I should behave like one...and stop acting like a Reikai investigator. You know, I feel bad for Koenma-san. I mean, he didn't even say yes or no when we left him. I hope he's okay... Botan-neechan has a job. I think she mentioned a pizza place? I feel kind of guilty though...I think I'm being a burden to everybody. Maybe I should have stayed at Reikai... Anyway, she and Kazuma-san enrolled me in the junior high school. I'm already studying, and so far, everything's fine. Although...the students and the teachers look at me as if I'm from the elementary school! Hmph! Don't they know that I'm way too older than them? And I know more than them too! Being the new student is tough. Because of how I look, no one wants to be friends with me...a short kid who looks like a preschooler. (It wasn't my fault that I died so young.) Anyway, I just went to classes and ate lunch alone. There were interesting teachers, and there were also the boring ones. The students were all the same...loud and obnoxious. There was this boy in my Math class who said I'm some abnormal freak, but I didn't mind him. And there were also this boy who kind of looks like Shuuta-kun... Hm, it's a long day, and I still have to do homework. I promised myself that I'll do my best for Botan-neechan. Ja! 1 will dance together

Author : Sayaka-chan It sure is quiet nowadays... Anyway, Botan-neechan and I are planning to stay for a long time here in Ningenkai. I'm so happy! I get to see the human world up close...it's been a long time since I died. I think Botan-neechan mentioned something about living in Kuwabara-san's old place because, well, Genkai-san's temple is getting crowded, if you know what I mean. The adults here are getting stuffy... And speaking about school, Botan-neechan asked me what grade should I go to. What do you think? Hmm...I'm way too old for elementary school. Maybe I could go to junior high, but I don't look like one! I look like an 8 year old kid! Seriously...I'm considering entering junior high school. I heard the human students are more interesting there. Well, when I met Yusuke-san, he was in high school. So yup...it's definitely junior high! I've also noticed a widespread of the love bug. I've been hearing rumors about Botan-neechan and Itsuki-san being...a couple. Well, it's just hearsay. No one here would tell a kid anything. I didn't know Jin-san loves cats! I like cats too! I hope when he gets one he'll let me play with it. I promise I'll be very careful. Ho-hum...does anyone need anything from me? I know I'm just a kid to them, but I'm willing to help out! And yup...Touya-san's here too. So the place is indeed getting crowded. 1 will dance together

How come people here are...well...depressed? And we're not giggling that much, are we Botan-neesan? Anou...we're not even making trouble... Nee...come to think of it, I kind of miss Yuusuke-san... I wonder how Koenma-sama's doing? I hope he's all right...and I hope he doesn't sack me for coming here... I hope things will change...people are grumpy for some reason... 1 will dance together

Author : Sayaka-chan Sigh...everything is a mess! Botan and I arrived to see the place in a total wreck. It seems like there was a fight here...a really terrible fight. But at least the guys had it under control, and nobody was hurt much...except that Shizuka-san was looking very bad. She was sleeping when she arrived. Thank goodness everybody's okay...I'll see what I can do to help bring back things to their normal state. will dance together

Author : The cute and smart Sayaka Maa, maa...what am I going to write? It's a personal habit of mine to make a note of any important or interesting event that happens to me or to anyone I know. The irony is, there's nothing interesting to write about! Why, oh why am I being punished like this? Walking on fire is nothing compared to boredom, and the feeling that you can't do anything about it! Koenma's being a grump these days...and it's really scary to ask him for approval so I can go to Ningenkai and hang out with the people there. It's either I get sacked or I get sacked. Mou!!! There's nothing worthwhile to do around here! Bah...if things get REALLY boring, I'm going to have to speak to Koenma about sending me to Ningenkai...even if he is grumpy. 5 will dance together
